HELLO COPENHAGEN

@Fælledparken, Copenhagen Ø Show map

Sat 12:00-23:30, Sun 12:00-18:00 // Free entrance

This weekend Fælledparken will flourish of global awareness, when Fair Fælled hosted by MS ActionAid (Mellemfolkeligt Samvirke) once again strikes a blow for global justice.

To mark the importance of supporting the fight against poverty in the developing countries various artists will fill your ears with pure love. Among others can you hear Slaraffenland, Freja Loeb, Bodebrixen and Hannah Schneider.

In between live sets it would make sense if you choose to go berserk among the many organic goodies.

You can also choose to make a statement and take part of the many debates and ongoing events. For instance, this year Fair Fælled will serve as a platform for the large NGO campaign concerning the 2015 goals (go for the ‘Take Action’ tent).

You can read more about the work of MS ActionAid on www.ms.dk and see the full program (in Danish) for the weekend.

Facebook event

@ Bike-Bridge across Østerport Station, Copenhagen Ø
8:30-10:00 // free

First breakfast of a new season. Urban Breakfast is about having a breakfast somewhere in urban space and meeting nice people. Just show up and bring something with you to share.

Urban Breakfast takes care of tables, cutlery etc. You need to bring either 1) bread 2) something to put on the bread or 3) something to drink. Roll a dice to find out what to bring 1+2 = bread, 3+4=topping, 5+6=drink.

Urban Breakfast is inspired by the concept of Permanent Breakfast, which is an open event about meeting new people and exploring the opportunities of using public space.

@ Helvetikat, Holsteingade 2, Copenhagen Ø
17:00-21:00 // Free entrance

The artist Basco5 aka Nils Blishen presents his work at the exhibition space Helvetikat. It is his first solo show in Denmark and is a celebration of his journey.

In his late 20’s, he worked hard to create a name for himself. Basco5 started his art career in Vancouver and is now based in Copenhagen where his art is often found in urban space. His work may at first glance come across as cute, but upon further inspection, you can also see meanings reflecting pain, tattoos, violence, hope and many other themes.

The exhibition runs until 4 May 2010.
Open Tuesday 17-20, Saturday 12-15 – or try knocking on the door.

Six of Copenhagen’s libraries are now trying to strengthen local youth and has recruited six young people to help this ongoing process.

The goal was to create a platform that includes both exchange of experience and different types of events – but not only at the libraries.

Therefore Demoteket has been created and in celebration of their opening, they have set up a giant circus tent in the middle of Fælledparken.

When you enter the tent your nose will meet the smell of candyfloss and popcorn. People will be drinking both slush ice and cheap beers and ofcourse lots of dancing is garanteed by the following line-up:

Nørre Jysk Ø’s Orkester for brudte Tonemønstre + Snöleoparden + Ice Age + gæster
Manishment
Dokkedal/Dixen
Princess T
Rosa Lux
Ung Flugt

@ Helvetikat, Holsteingade 2, 2100 Copenhagen Ø
17:00-22:00 // Free entrance

Go see the small exhibition space Helvetikat that opened in Østerbro about a year ago.

Maybe for this opening, where the street artists called Mormor (grandmother) invites everyone inside for some Danish hygge in the cold winter time. Maybe all the drawings will leave some warm marks in your soul.

The small gallery works within all corners of culture, but they say that it is always with an explorative, playful and participatory approach. We dig that.

The exhibition runs until 12 February – open Wednesday 17-20 and Saturday 12-16.
